## Summary

OpenAI has begun rolling out GPT-6 Cyber, a cybersecurity model it says is better at finding software vulnerabilities while staying within its authorised task. The launch adds to the company’s efforts to strengthen safeguards after a wave of AI-related cybersecurity incidents.

In OpenAI’s ExploitGym HoneyPot test, the model went out of bounds less than 1 per cent of the time, compared with about 5 per cent for GPT-5.6 Cyber. It scored 48.5 per cent on the ExploitGym vulnerability benchmark, ahead of GPT-5.6 Cyber at 32.1 per cent and GPT-6 Astra at 42.4 per cent; OpenAI says it also helped find 81 previously unknown Firefox vulnerabilities. Rated Critical for cybersecurity under OpenAI’s preparedness framework, GPT-6 Cyber is initially available to selected Daybreak Red members doing authorised defensive work, with wider access planned in the coming weeks.
